After Action Report
The Spurs stunned the Suns 114-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
